Answer:
3 1/2 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a problem in units conversion. We want to get from bags to hours by way of minutes per bag. One bag takes an effort of 2/3 person·minute, so we need to divide the total effort by the number of persons and convert minutes to hours.
(1575 bags)×(2/3 person·min/bag)/(5 person)/(60 min/h)
= (1575)(2/3)(1/5)(1/60) h = 3.5
It will take the 5 of them about 3 1/2 hours to prepare 1575 bags.
